IP68/IP69K sealing and a rugged plastic shell offer dependable protection from water, dust, and chemical exposure, reducing ingress-related faults on washdown lines and outdoor equipment. The result is less unscheduled downtime and more consistent machine availability in tough environments. Eight gold-plated solder cup contacts provide low resistance and stable signal paths for compact harnessing, enabling high-density wiring in control panels and machinery while maintaining reliability through vibration and temperature cycles. The 1/3 bayonet coupling and straight plug orientation simplify mating, aligning connectors quickly even in tight spaces, which translates to faster installation and easier field maintenance. Operating range from -40 °C to 105 °C and a current rating of 6 A IEC (4.5 A UL/CSA) with a 32 V limit cover typical industrial and automation scenarios safely. The backshell uses a sealing gland for reliable strain relief, and the insert is neoprene, ensuring environmental compatibility. With UV resistance and resistance to oil, acids, mineral oil, and gasoline, the connector stands up to harsh service life. Mated durability reaches 250 mating cycles, and the product comes ready to install with connector accessories included, streamlining project timelines.

FAQs
Begin by selecting the straight plug, ensuring the orientation is set to N, and fit the Sealing Gland backshell for strain relief. Use cables with 3–12 mm diameter, route to the 8‑cavity housing, and mate firmly to achieve IP68 protection. Verify the connection is clean and secure before commissioning.
The connector supports 6 A IEC current (4.5 A UL/CSA), with a voltage rating up to 250 V (UL/CSA) and 32 V (IEC). It operates from -40 °C to 105 °C and provides 250 mating cycles, making it suitable for demanding automation and control circuits while maintaining reliable performance.
Yes. The IP68/IP69K sealing provides excellent protection against water and dust in washdown environments, and its UV resistance plus oil, mineral oil, and gasoline robustness make it appropriate for outdoor machinery, conveyors, and process equipment exposed to harsh conditions.
The UTS6JC12E8S conforms to IEC 61984 and UL 1977, with CSA C22.2 No.182.3 compliance and ROHS exemption 6.c. These certifications support safe integration into regulated equipment and help meet regional electrical and environmental requirements.
With eight contact positions and gold-plated solder cups, the connector delivers reliable, low-resistance connections in dense wiring. The 1/3 Bayonet coupling and straight plug orientation simplify mating, while a 66.7 mm depth, 29.7 mm width/height form-factor fits compact control panels and harnesses, enabling rapid field assembly and maintenance.
